oh wow, the very first update! i'd like to personally welcome all new members who are joining us and i cannot wait for this place to get rolling! if you need anything at all, don't hesitate to ask! this place is going to be so much fun!

hello, i'm the mother of this little brainchild! i'm twenty-one and super cool i swear. just kidding i'm actually kind of a loser. when i'm not online, i'm probably at work or in class. i'm a psychology major, which can be either loads of fun or loads of work depending on the day. i love character plottage and if it's really good, i will be all over it. i love to read and i listen to weird indie music when i'm by myself. zombies are my passion - which is why this site exists. i spend far too much time scrolling my tumblr dash. i dunno, i'm friendly and i just love roleplaying. c:

howdy ho, i'm bex! i'm seventeen and currently have no life. i tend to swear a lot, so if you're easily offended, i apologize in advance. i like music and creating five million characters old enough to be your character's dad or much older, estranged brother, with the occasional badass lady. i love to game and i survive off of my depressing caffeine addiction and my hella fast wifi. i'm often loud and pissy, but i hope it doesn't deter you. if i'm being an ass, please please tell me?

Welcome weary traveler. Before you can settle down and join us, you should come and take a look at the basics of this lovely site. Once you've read the information, you can proceed onto the quarantine and begin creating your character.

Have you got a moderation problem and need some answers? This is the place. What about an open thread? We've got a thread for that here, too. Any suggestions you might like to share? You can post them here, three!

Although this store never had a name before the apocalypse, most people referred to it as "The Store" and that still rings true in the now. During the panic, it was raided and ransacked, but has since been put back together and is now the home base of the supplies for the town. It holds everything from hardware supplies to canned food.

The very center of town and where the majority of people spend their dinners. It's complete with a number of picnic tables for people to sit. It's become a place where announcements are made and celebrations are had. Not that the people have had much time for celebrating.

Outside the safe walls of Paradise Falls is a farm that has become the very life of the town. Many newcomers have been recruited to work on the farms and it's where the majority of the food comes from. They grow crops and breed all kinds of livestock. Although it's outside the walls, safety precautions have been set in place to ensure the workers remain safe. And many of them choose to stay at the farm rather than in town.

What once used to be a veterinary clinic has been transformed into a tiny hospital. It's not very large, with only a waiting room, a small treatment room, and a makeshift operating room where the kennels used to be. But this is the home base for any and all medical professionals and they make due with what supplies they have.

Near the center of town, there are a number of homes that had been abandoned when the panic struck. They've since been essentially gutted of any usable materials for the wall. Everyone is assigned a home to stay in when they come to Paradise Falls. Curfew is at sunset.

the midwestern united states is literally the middle of the united states. the twelve states that make up this region aren't really that bad. they're not heavily populated, and the only real problem is chicago. but no one really likes illinois anyways, right?

when you say the south, everyone knows what you're talking about. the south is well known for it's thriving culture. especially the cuisines. too bad you won't be getting a nice bowl of gumbo anytime soon with zombies hanging around. the south includes the bible belt. during the uprising, there were a lot of mass killings. so don't be surprised if there aren't a shitload of bodies just piled up inside churches. it's almost normal.

the great old west. one of the safer regions due to the lack of population, but that doesn't mean that you're safe from harm's way. in fact, no one is safe. that's just the way things are. sorry man. anyways, the west has some pretty great hiding places. you just have to know where to look. but look out for bandits. i hear there's a bunch of them that roam these areas and they all look pretty hungry.

want a thread before the apocalypse? how about somewhere in the far future? this is where it would belong. these should be labeled with [PAST] or [FUTURE] and location should be in the description. thanks.
